Esperanza and Victor,
It is very interesting to me to hear the history of other members. 

My grandparents were from the surrounding area of Jalostotitlán, Jalisco and out of 9 children 5 moved to Sacramento, California in the early 1950's.  Two died in Mexico and the remaining 2 moved here within the last 10 years.  There are so many people that live in Sacramento that are from the Jalostotitlan and Teocaltitan de Guadalupe area.  There is also some who chose to live in the Los Angeles area.  I guess they all moved down here because of jobs and word of mouth by their relatives or neighbors.

  Hi Victor,

  I didn't realize the Villarreales were connected to Zacatecas, although I have read some history on Zacatecas and came across the Villarreal name quite often, particularly during the time of civil war - I thought the original one settled in Oaxaca.  I have not been able to make a connection with Danny, although the area that he mentions in Nuevo Leon (the place settled by the original settlers there - Hidalgo, Nuevo Leon) is where my father's grandfather was from.  It appears that the family moved to Coahuila around 1830 - not really sure why, but I suspect it had to do with the Independence and "free" territory to those willing to fight the hostile Apaches who lived in the area.  My grandmother also happens to be a Villarreal, but her relatives are from Cd Victoria area.  I still have a great aunt who lives in Nuevo Leon, she lives in Monterrey.  I am hoping to make a journey there this summer, to tap into her memories.....

  I would love to hear how you differ from some of Danny's assumptions....the one thing that I can confirm is our Jewish background.  My great uncle had kept this secret, and it turns out that my aunts did too, until recently, when it no longer mattered.  If you feel that our conversation would be a bore to the rest of the group, email me privately.....perhaps we can find a connection to our Villarreal side.  I have been able to go back to the late 1700's, but it is connected mostly with my paternal's mother side - the Bermea's, who were the original settlers of the town my father was from - Villa Union, Coauhuila - then known as Rosales when my father was born....

  Esperanza
